Welcome to Zebilla: Gateway to the north

Welcome to Zebilla: Gateway to  Bawku in the north and from there to the borders with Burkina Faso and Togo- ie a town on the main road.
As the map in the VSO office shows, my placement is located in the far north east of Ghana, away from the main towns and more densely populated and developed south, and connected by a small network of partially made roads.
 
 
The house I share with fellow volunteers Emma, from Blackburn, Lancashire, and Nicole, from Ottawa, Canada is a concrete bungalow with a tin roof, typical of the modern style of construction. We live among a mix of similar structures and traditional compound style homes made from local materials, such as the extended family home directly opposite our kitchen window.
